In plasma cutting dust removal methods, in addition to the downdraft dust removal method, there is also an updraft hood dust removal method.
The dust collection hood is made with the same length as the gantry, and the width is set to 1.8m. This dust collection hood can completely cover the gantry. The around of hood should install arc shielding curtains to enhance the dust collection effect.The hood is fixed on the gantry and powered by the gantry, so it can move together with the gantry. During cutting operations, the generated smoke and dust are covered within the dust collection hood. Under negative pressure by the fan, the fume and dust enter the dust collector through the sliding suction duct.
Compared to the downdraft method, the significant advantage of this updraft hood method is that it does not need major modifications to the material rack, making it easier to implement and operate in practical applications.
1.No need for extensive modification of the material rack, because its principle is to cover the cutting smoke and dust within the hood area; and under the negative pressure of the dust removal equipment fan, the fumes enter the dust collector for purification.
2.Compared with the downdraft dust removal method, the overall cost of the updraft hood dust removal method is lower. Because need air volume is smaller, and the dust collector power is smaller. Especially the larger the cutting area, the lower the relative cost.cost.
The plasma hood suction dust removal method is generally widely used. Due to its dust removal cost is lower and its dust removal effect is relative ideal. Therefore, this dust collection method is widely used in cutting and blanking workshops.
Moland is a professional manufacturer of industrial dust collector. In workshop smoke and dust purification, such as welding, cutting, and grinding produce smoke and dust, Moland have rich experience.
